johnmo: We have a customer with mutiple providers at many of their branches and due to procedures cannot easily get hold of the provider bills to see who bills for which numbers.

Slightly OT, when we were doing phone systems, it was amazing the call savings we achieved just by double-checking bills. We saw a lot of internet overusage charges (simple to fix by upgrading plans) and phone lines that were never used, or were installed at (now) ex-employee's homes.

i called telecom to ask if rebtel number 09-4427363 is telecom landline so i can call international for cheaper price with telecom favourite, the customer service told me she had a look but it doesn't belong to telecom :(

i don't know if she actually looked up in database or just trash talk, anyway sharing my experience here

for mobile just send a txt and see how much it costs you, txt is cheap anyway

Text the number to 300 and it'll come back and tell you.

Yes and no. Sending a SMS to 300 will tell you if the mobile is connected to the providers network or not. And it may or may not work with MVNO's (not 100% sure it will depend on if it's a Telecom or Vodafone MVNO).

So the 021 could be with Vodafone, or Telecom or 2 Degrees. So you would need to SMS 300 from at least two (if not really all) to see which network the number is connected to.
